Best Answer

Settlers traveled by wagon because:

They could carry much more food and equipment than traveling by horse.

The wagons could be covered, protecting the settlers from heat, cold, duststorms, bright sunlight.

The wagons offered a little protection against stealing and against raids by American Native warriors.
